If you are using the API, we provide streaming I/Q data at 40 MSPS, which you could have centered at 3 GHz.
For amplitude, use I*I+Q*Q, and for phase use the atan2 function.
By relative phase, I mean 2 things:
1) If your generator time base does not exactly match the BB60C, the phase angle in the I/Q data will rotate at the frequency difference.
2) If you lock time bases together, there will be a fixed phase offset between the generator and the BB60C. In most cases, there will be a *new* fixed phase offset each time you start I/Q streaming, but exact multiples of 20 MHz may avoid this.
You can download the API manual from our website for more information.
Using the API, you can measure amplitude and phase 40 million times per second. By adjusting sample rate and signal bandwidth, and adding some averaging, you can make more accurate, but slower, amplitude and phase measurements.
